Very original building has been chosen and a good quality transformation has been proposed.

Windows look characteristic of the old building, but I think they are not kept as they were, their geometry has been changed. I would like to know the reason for this change.

Very nicely, the wooden roof is kept, and its dialogue with the space underneath looks strong. It adds quality to the office space that takes part under it.

What else would make this transformation more interesting? The transformation proposed is like a conventional restoration and reuse. I think the proposed design could have carried this transformation to further dimensions. What offers this design is very modest and misses the opportunity to be more elegant.
